That is a very
very
very broad question
I’d personally go to your bank and tell them you are “interested” in doing a little investing. As soon as they hear that they will give you details on how some stuff works, and they will probably assume you are going to want to invest through them (hint that). I’ve done this many times and actually learned quite a bit (even though I was 14 lol).
Then, as soon as you have a general grasp of what’s going on, then you can start asking more specific questions.

read read read. then open up a play account with virtual money. play around, lose money, make money, learn more. then when you feel confident you know what you want to do open up an account and become a ballR on cribs 😃

check out the “Wall Street” section on [offtopic.com](http://offtopic.com), i’ve read through their articles and How-To’s and plan to start investing once i have some free cash, maybe after my tax return.
